I've been photographing the emerging flowers on this tree in our garden for a few days now. This is a special time - just a few days a year when the yellow buds are breaking out.
Common laburnum, golden chain or golden rain, is a species in the subfamily Faboideae, and genus Laburnum..The seeds are legumes with large numbers of black seeds that contain cytisine, an alkaloid extremely poisonous to humans as well as goats and horses, especially when not ripe. However, some wild animals such as hares and deer can feed on them without any problems, and because of this the plant is believed to have magic properties in some regions
A week after my first autumnal visit to Mount Wilson, I returned to capture the colours of the foliage at Breenhold Gardens before the cold and bleakness of winter set in.
This visit was much earlier in the morning than the last visit, as I had arranged access to Breenhold Gardens before the site was open to the public.
I found that the colour and leaf coverage on the ground was not as intense as I had expected and hoped, but it was still nice to visit and photograph Laburnum Steps in the quiet of dawn.
Perhaps next autumn will result in a very different type of image.

Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.
Beginning to flower in the car park. I'll have to try and get over the road for a better photo, but without Rufus in hand.

Some beautiful Laburnum flowers just off Wood Vale in Highgate on the Greenways path down to Crouch End.

Mt Wilson is a location I have wanted to photograph for a few years, and while I had been once, the best time to visit is during autumn, when the leaves turn to intense colours of red, orange and yellow.
A weekend getaway to the Blue Mountains was planned for 12-13 May, 2018, and as the time for photographing Mt Wilson's autumn colours is very limited, a visit to this location was a must.
This is Laburnum Steps in Breenhold Gardens, a 45-hectare garden in the beautiful Blue Mountains.
I was fortunate to see some stunning autumnal colours, but based on other images I have seen, it does not look like it has reached the intensity exhibited during colder years.
I hope to return to Breenhold Gardens and capture this scene at its brilliant best.
Looking up into a Laburnum tree, the lovely yellow blossom hanging down like a tree full of corn on the cobs.
I took about 10 shots of this and on each one , the color had blown slightly , which i was a litle disappointed about.
Thanks for stopping by :)
This is a garden with Laburnum Trees in bloom which only appear for about two weeks every year. I made a special trip this year to make sure I was here at the right time..
Thanks for looking and very much appreciated..
